swtd headcannons!!
Caz is a complete emotional drunk. Suze once even found him hugging a cabinet, swearing he wouldn’t leave it alone ever again.
Roy always used to bake with his aunt when he was little. The baking turned gears to cooking after Roy’s diabetes diagnosis.
Finlays son is in his late 20’s/early 30’s, and is in the Air Force.
Rennick actually has 3 grandchildren.
Caz used to run track (mostly hurdles) in school before he went to boxing, hence why he’s so fast, and can vault/jump over things with ease.
(May not be a headcannon) Raffs is an apprentice under Brodie supervision.
In the beginning of Raffs apprenticeship, he actually didn’t trust Brodie a lot, leading to Brodie promising he’d look after him.
The crew (besides Trots, McLurg, and Rennick) has all secretly created a Addair hate club. Surprisingly (maybe not), Sunil is the original creator of the club.
Muir really enjoys the beach, and tends to walk around finding shells, and ironically, hermit crabs.
O’Connor is a cat guy, and has 2 tuxedo cats back on the mainland he named Houdini and Shela.
Bruce loves sharks. He doesn’t really tell anyone else or else he will yap their ear off.
Finlay avoids the smell of onions like the black plague. She’ll only tolerate the smell if they are cooked in any way to minimize the stench.
Alex answers almost any question about his action with “your mom” when he’s with Sunil
Sunils mother died when he was 3 from a lung infection he has yet to know what caused it in the first place.
Innes tried to dye his hair red with a drink mix he found, accidentally staining his hands and forehead red for at least a week.
During said week- Muir refused to hold were Innes held, as it felt oddly sticky because of the juice packet.
ask for any specific characters for headcannons!!

still wakes the deep au posting lets get it
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY
basically they drill like normal and head back to the mainland only to find everything is shit and theres ghoulies. oh no
and now doodles/relationships jeje
brodie/raffs stick together 24/7. brodie does not allow raffs to go on scouting/scavenging missions without him, raffs doesnt wanna go on those missions At All. But alas
Also brodie is not the greatest at protecting him
Innes and Muir are. Having suchh a time. theyre both also always together because nobody wants to seperate them (they both have one half of a brain cell and dont function without eachother) and theyre just “DUDE DID YOU SEE THAT” “SEE WHAT” 24/7
trots is in charge of organizing the missions bc nobody trusts rennick and addair to not send the people they dont like (caz) to die. Trots accidentally keeps sending gibbo on every other mission
finlay is the first person to kill a zombie. She picks up a big hunk of Pipe and starts bashing bitches. She then replaces it with a bat she wraps in barbed wire. She’s great. Also gives herself a lil buzz and will not beat the butch allegations about it
Addair is having the worst time because Nobody likes him and he fears they will just leave him to die about that. They wont but he has very low standards for them so. Also everytime he gets upset he “leaves” for 5 minutes and then runs back in and goes “IM JUST AN OLD MAAANN DONT LEAVE ME TO DIE PLEASE” nobody is amused
Rennick is constantly upset about no longer being In Charge and Roper likes bothering him about it. Rennick keeps going “well I THINK—“ and roper goes “who? Asked you”
Alex, Sunil and Davros are on the night watch since its safer than going on missions. sunil is terrified and alex and davros are nonchalant as hell. Also nobody is Actually watching (which spells disaster)
Caz and Roy both have lots of braincells but get nothing done together. They cancel eachother out. Sorry.
Caz makes sure they raid a bunch of hospitals for insulin and threatens anyone who suggests leaving roy behind <3 and roy rations/makes the food obviously
Scooby and Caz are also A Duo to me. Scooby and Caz were both into zombie rpgs/shooters when they were younger and they are not taking this apocalypse as seriously as they should about it
IIII AM CRINGE AND IM FREEE

STILL WAKES THE DEEPERS COME GET YOUR DINNER!!!
youtube
[BODY HORROR AND FLASHING WARNING]
Thoughts under the cut (it gets lengthy)!
So.. we´re finally here huh? Took me a little over a week, but its done at last!
I´ll be honest, the idea first came to me when I listened to the song. I was brainrotting so bad on Still Wakes the Deep, I think I could´ve twisted anything into being about it haha. But this song actually fits it super well. ¨You lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane.¨ fits especially well with Caz, as everything that sort of grounds him on the rig during the shape infestation, the things that make him feel sane (mostly his friends) are all things he loses. In many cases, right in front of him. He also loses his family, as he realizes hes never going to get back to them, and, at the end, he loses himself too.
I tried to draw Caz´s hair progressively worse as his mental and physical state do. At his very best, particularly in the flashbacks at the end, his hair is shaped very specifically. But the more he goes through, the worse it gets, until at the very end where its just a tangled mess. Also his emotions, obviously towards the end he is still super emotional and stuff but I had hoped to sort of make it more...subdued? Maybe that´s not the right word, but he´s been through so much that his reactions aren´t as big to things, he doesn´t quite have the enough energy. He still Goes Through It with Finlay, but after that he´s giving you a constant 5000 yard stare. The, ¨I just watched every single one of my closest friends die in front of me¨ look.¨
Even when he gets to the derrick, he can only stare at the shape abyss.
He´s also in terrible physical condition and I tried to illustrate that with the scene of him standing up after Finlay dies. He is literally on his last legs, he is so, so tired.
also!! three flashy sequences in very quick succession at the end! do you know why? because Caz starts to See. The first, after Brodie dies, is a bunch of unique images about Caz. The people, things, and parts of himself that he is losing or has lost. Accompanied by other things, parts of himself, his life, etc.
There´s also these two images of Muir and Innes that I love very much.
The second one happens as he holds the lighter above the oil abyss! This ones just people he lost. And the third is everything that happened in the pmv flashing before his eyes. Because it is Quite a journey he has been on.
But you know why these flash? because Caz realizes that every step he is taking is one step closer to his death. Because he realizes that he is never going to get off the rig. because he realizes that he is going to die here. So hes thinking about Everything. His life, his family, friends, the horrors he went through, the things he lost and the things he will never, ever get back.
He also hallucinates Suze a lot in the pmv, but unlike in the game its not flashback sequences and she is not normal Suze. Until the end, when he´s reflecting on his life, its Suze With Tendrils!! Shape infected wife!!
and then at the end, she becomes more normal. Because he is flashing through the events of his life. also because he misses her, but he knows that by doing what he is doing, Shape Suze will never, ever exist. She will be safe.
I had a fun time drawing all the scenes in the pmv, but a select few are my favorite.
For example: The Beira D Bookends!
At the beginning and the end of the pmv, you get a full shot of the Beira D!
I like these scenes because I love having secret things like this. The bookends,,, ough do u guys get it they´re bookends... The Beira D is where it all takes place, in the game, and in the pmv. It is the first and last thing you see as Caz, and the first and last thing he sees in the 24 hours this takes place in. It is a very significant location, which is why it bookends the pmv.
Addair and Caz at the Stack:
Getting to animate this whole sequence was a blast. It´s my absolute favorite part of the game! Followed closely by the ending, but still my most favorite. I just think its a really cool part of the game, and it plays a lot into my Addair headcanons so!!! pretty sick!!
Caz´s Memories:
After he drops the lighter, Caz and his family are shown again. You can see him and Suze reconnecting (as well as the fact that I yoinked @inky-ash´s headcanon about them meeting up after he got punched in the face). He also plays with a young Cait. and drawing the hug between them just about made my eyes misty, because he really loves his family,,,, auuuughh,,,
also. the wedding photo.
I didnt really try with their outfits honestly, but I still really love how this came out. the wedding photo means so much to me...
The Lighter:
a little extra bit about the lighter. I drew when it was handed to Finlay, and when she handed it back to Caz. There´s no real scene parellells between these scenes, but I do really love them, and the whole fact that the Lighter was originally given to Finlay before she gave it back to Caz.
The Scene That Is Most Definitely Not A Reference:
Just kidding. it is.
The pose and composition is indeed a self-indulgent reference to the first artwork I made of Still Wakes The Deep!
Sinking:
The first time you see Caz in the pmv? He´s unconscious in the ocean, and sinking.
and the last time you see him? Unconcious, in an ocean, and sinking.
boy I sure do love parallels and things.
The Helmet:
at the very end, his helmet appears in the waves, before sinking below the surface. This is another self-indulgent little detail that serves as a nod to my headcanon!
I also just generally enjoyed drawing Caz and his facial expressions. That man means so much to me, so it was awesome to draw him so much!
also, I think its funny you can tell exactly when I figured out what the Cadal logo looks like, or that there even was a logo on the uniforms.
If you watched the pmv, or read this far, thank you so much!! This game means so much to me, and I´m so glad I could make this pmv. I love all the support this fandom has given me so far, so thank you! Thank you so much! Couldn´t have done this without such an awesome fandom <333

More SWTD Second Chance AU Thoughts!
Obviously, the crew can't just all stop working on the rig (despite no one but Caz being ok to work), so characters like Finlay, Addair, and Gibbo have to work, or else the rig would break down.
Roper threatens to throw anyone who tries to start the drill overboard. Brodie threatens to do the same to anyone that mentions Raffs going in the dive bell.
The crew is fairly divided on whether or not to tell Caz about what happened 'yesterday'. One side thinks he went through enough for them all, and it would be kinder to let him live in ignorance. The other side wants to tell him to see if it'll jog his memory so he can tell them what the hell he did to restart the day.
(The answer would be nothing. He'd be as confused as everyone else.)
After the day shift ends, there's a long line of people at the radio room waiting to call their loved ones. Gibbo is the first one there.
The crewmates' memories of 'yesterday' end at their deaths, so Innes has no idea about the chopper crashing or Rennick turning (or Muir carrying him around for hours).
But most people remember how hard Caz tried to save them all. O'Connor and Trots both remember vividly how Caz apologized for not being able to help them.
Once Trots is finished with his panic attack, he goes to the radio room to start calling in every favor he has with the NSOWU to get the Beira decommissioned.
The darts finale is postponed until further notice.

Cheese??
THERE. YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID, ANON. YOU SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO THEIR POOR PRE-BOOMER BRAINS!? This is exactly how people in the seventies would react to this kind of shit. I’m just a millennial-gen z cusp who doesn’t understand this stuff.
I couldn’t fit O’Connor and Gibbo in but that’s GOOD. They don’t need to see this.
It was the music that made the video unbearable to me.

inncorect quotes! (still wakes the deep edition pt. 1 maybe??)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunil as a child: I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures! Sunil now: I can’t wait to go to bed.
------------------------
Caz: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset? O'Conner: No, I said "Caz, don't lick that swingset" and you said "Don't tell me what to do" and licked the swingset.
------------------------
Finlay: How petty can you get? Rennick: I once edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.
------------------------
Gibbo: Hey, how did my phone break? Trots: You were drunk yesterday. Gibbo: And? Rennick: You threw it. Gibbo: Why? Raffs: You turned on airplane mode and kept screaming “FLY DAMN YOU!” Gibbo: And why didn’t you stop me?! Caz: We were busy laughing our asses off.
------------------------
Caz: My heart is guarded but like… very poorly. The kind of guards that would let 3 kids in a trench coat into an R rated movie.
------------------------
Roy: I have an idea. Suze: A good idea? Roy: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
------------------------
Finlay: Ladies, gentlemen and Rennick, I want to show you the greatest thing your eyes have ever beheld! Roy: A llama? Finlay: No. Roy: A baby llama? Finlay: No! Roy: A baby llama with a little hat on? Finlay: NO!
------------------------
Brodie: You look like a corpse that was just pulled out of the river. Caz: Wrong. I look like a cool rock star who just OD'd in their own pool. Big difference.
------------------------
Innes: Hey, random question, what are your favorite flowers? Muir: Peonies, why? Innes: Muir: Were you going to get me flowers? Innes: Muir: Innes: ᶦᵗ’ˢ ᵃ ᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶦˡᶦᵗʸ

Had another recording day today, I noticed a lot of new things from other characters again
The most saddest thing I wanted to share are a bunch of O'Conner voicelines people usually miss. (You have to lurk nearby after he attacks you). I might recheck the area again and find a way to listen more closely, but I firstly have to focus on my Muir clips.
I must warn you all, these voicelines from O'Conner are really sad, even if I played this game for 77h now, listening to those is just heartbreaking.
youtube
Shared it on discord for @sukipershipper
And another bit I wanted to mention was, I checked up on Roper again, just to record marine control. Figured to look around for details and noticed that-
They put Raffs on him- Now for those that have not seen a closeup of mutated Raffs, here:
Not only are Raffetys faces on him, Roper has like... 10-11 heads. I looked around his entire mutated form and found SO MANY HEADS OH GOD
I- ????
WHat happend to beloved Roper oh my goodness.
Random side note, did you guys know that Muir has 10 additional howls in the evening? It's the same ones you hear in the morning, but they sound slightly different, or rather more sad.
Either way, I have to go to bed now, but I want to thank those people who left the sweet comments on yesterdays painting. Made me feel very happy, I struggle to express my graditude but thank you. Feeling better today, so I hope things will be alright.
Have some fun screenshots of Brodie and Roy:
See y'all later this week, oh and someone help me with Muir, he is doing weird yoga again-

Brodie and the role of determination in "Still Wakes the Deep"
From the start, Still Wakes the Deep depicts Brodie as one of the more clear-headed characters after the Beria D is, effectively, attacked by the entity. Granted, if you're working on an oil rig, you (probably) have to be a certain person to work under high-stress conditions. As the apparent diver on the Beria (and senior figure, after Roper, Innes, Trots, Finlay, and Rennick) Brodie is probably accustomed to working under pressure (literally and figuratively).
Brodie operates under the pretense of what my former supervisor called, "positive reinforcement". Highlight a person's strengths, and address their weaknesses as "areas for improvement". Hence why he gets annoyed with Caz when he heightens Rafferty's anxieties about going down in the diving bell with his own personal fears.
Folks like Douglas and Rafferty look to him to know what to do, so Brodie takes it as a personal failing when someone is harmed under his charge. When Gregor and Caz fall into the water, he's the one who goes in after them. And given the height both fell from, by the time he was prepared to dive, he shouldn't have been able to find either, but he gets lucky with Caz.
Of the survivors, Brodie is together enough to send Finlay down to restart the generators as they're cutting out and sends Caz to reach the surviving radios (initially). Even when preoccupied with another situation, Brodie was forward-thinking enough to consider mitigating the broader damage on the Rig.
When a panicky Caz, probably to his surprise, completes what he sent Finlay to do, he reorients Caz (by hyping him up a little) and asks him to help with tension wenches in the Pontoons. Whatever reservations he might have about Caz's anxieties, Brodie appreciates that he's willing to throw himself into certain danger to help.
Brodie's determination to save the Rig, perhaps to save themselves (because there was no way to physically leave the rig without transportation) was such a gripping story beat to watch play out between himself and Finlay.
Way before Caz gets himself out of the pontoons and encounters a mutated O'Connor, they're talking to (or at) each other in notes. Brodie operates like the situation is another high-stakes circumstance that he (as a diver) must be accustomed to. Process of elimination.
He is pushing to save the Rig, but only long enough for rescue. But his initial plans fail. The surviving radios don't work, so they can't reach the support ship. Most of the Rig is collapsing and flooding from the damage. Stabilizing the tension wenches leaves the Rig vulnerable to sinking. The tone of Finlay's notes suggests they should focus more on leaving the Rig altogether, instead of hailing the support ship. (Again, the issue with that being, of course, that there's nothing sea-worthy left on the Rig to even float on.)
And she's already speculating at the entity's intentions after seeing so many of their coworkers die, transform, or become gore on the walls. Brodie, however, isn't particularly curious about the entity beyond seeing it as an (environmental) obstacle. Stabilizing the flare stack prevents explosion, but he initially believes it was at the expense of Caz's life.
Brodie could be motivated by what happened to Raffs in the diving bell. I can't imagine seeing someone under your charge explode into a hostile lump of tentacles and inhumanity would leave you anything but determined to save as many people as you can, bad odds be damned.
And in that dynamic, the person delaying what's inevitable really can't stop the person who's decided about what they'll do. And, for me, that's interesting, as Brodie and Finlay were both kinda positioned in the story to be 'dependable' and 'pragmatic' in the face of terror.
Both of them try to sway Caz from going after Roy, but relent, knowing he won't be any good to them with his mind elsewhere except in the priority situation (the tension wenches).
(One of the last bits of advice he gives to Caz when they're face-to-face is to make his every move count, and not panic when he goes underwater.)
In most circumstances, I would've expected Finlay and Brodie's roles to be reversed. So, that Finlay was the one to just accept that they were all doomed after a certain point, was nice.
Brodie's willingness to venture into certain danger and death ultimately seals fates and is catalyst enough to push Finlay to do what she'd been thinking about since their exchanges. Caz is convinced of Brodie's own "jamminess", that he believes he can get out of the oil-flooded pontoon to return to them, and if he can't, he has him to rely on. Brodie knows otherwise, and, so, home (Isle of Skye) is the last thing he thinks of before imploring the others to escape.
I don't know if the Isle of Skye is considered a "harbor town", but Brodie's apparent comfort in and underwater struck me as a connection to his home. That he dies, drowning in oil, feels like a cruel irony of circumstances.
On a more personal level, given that Scottish / English / Irish narratives trend towards whiteness (and are often loaded with weird "racial purity" undertones), I wasn't expecting Still Wakes the Deep to have any significant characters of color in the game. That Brodie is the only Black character in the game with a major speaking and narrative role within the narrative (and voiced by a Black actor, thankfully) is a double-edged sword.
It's a) par for the course (and disappointing), but also b) nice to see a predominantly white narrative acknowledge Black Scotsmen exist. Sunil (Scottish) and Dobbie (Irish) are two other Black/Brown characters with lines, but they're minor characters (both killed by a mutated Muir on the Derrick).
Throughout the multiple playthroughs I've watched since SWTD was released, I've always found it extremely baffling that most (white) players assumed malice on Brodie's part when he's surprised to see Caz survive the collapse of the skywalk connecting to the stack.
He's clearly relieved to see his friend alive, but most were like, "Was he trying to kill Caz?" And it's like, how the hell did y'all come to that conclusion?
And if I were to speculate about the entity's intentions, it wouldn't be much interested in going anywhere except back down below. The potential threat that was the Rig, is no longer a danger to its existence. Hence why everything it pulled apart and invaded, was gradually sinking under the water.
